Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 266 Noah’s Anger

After a pause, Terence replied, "That's... a possibility. But to be honest, it happened such a long time

ago. It's just one of the many things that could have happened. No one knows what actually transpired

back then."

Carla laughed with an incredulous look.

"How could that be? It's impossible. My blood type is the same as that of my parents. If someone says

I'm not their biological daughter, they must be crazy!"

Terence held her hand and stated in a soothing tone, "Carla, there are so many people with the same

blood type in the world. For now, don't think about it too much. It's useless to stress yourself over it.

You'll know the truth when you go to HA City with Noah."

Then he continued in a more serious tone, "Nevertheless, I'm still going to warn you that you must be

careful of Noah. He doesn't deserve your complete trust."

Looking at his particularly serious look, Carla nodded and said, "...Hmmm. Oh, I see."

Although she didn't know why Terence always told her not to completely trust Noah, she decided to do

just as he said. As usual, she trusted him and thought that he had a point.

If she were being honest with herself, Carla knew that she didn't really know Noah very well.

Sometimes she felt that Noah was a dangerous person. However, whenever she was with him, she

found him very gentle and considerate. In Carla's eyes, he was like her brother. She would always

unconsciously disregard any negative impressions on him.

When late afternoon came, Carla took Sean back to the Seaview Villa.

As soon as they got back, Carla called Noah. Since she had ultimately decided to go to HA City the day

after tomorrow, she thought of informing him about it.

The phone only rang twice before Noah picked it up. Carla then stated, "Noah, it's me, Carla. I just

want to tell you that I'm all set to go to HA City with you on Wednesday. I happen to be free on that

day!"

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll drive there since HA City is not that far from here. We can get there in just

a few hours,"

Noah said, excitement apparent in his voice.

"By the way, I heard that... Terence had come back. Is it true?" he carefully asked. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Yes! Of course, it's true! He did come back. I had been praying for his safety and now my wish finally

came true!" Carla exclaimed. Her tone was a mix of happiness and relief.

Now that the news about Terence's return had already spread among so many people, there was no

need for Carla to hide it from Noah.

"...Ah, is that so? Well, congratulations," Noah said. As they were talking on the phone, Carla couldn't

comprehend his mood.

"Thank you, Noah. We're all settled for the trip, right? See you the day after tomorrow!" Carla said and

then she hung up the phone.

After confirming the news from Carla, Noah gnashed his teeth in anger. If anyone were to see his face

right then, they would surely be scared of him. Without saying another word, he violently threw his

mobile phone at the wall.

"He really came back! How could he? He should have just died!"

Noah shouted with ragged breathes. Then he turned around and went into the room next door.

Clenching his fist, he suddenly hit the man who was tied to a pillar.

"Marcus, I've made so much investment for you and helped you in so many ways more than necessary.

All I asked is one thing! One thing! You had one job and you failed me!" he screamed into the man's

face.

That morning, Noah "invited" Marcus into his house. Since then, he had been staying in that small and

dark room. He was not allowed to leave or go anywhere else.

"Mr. Hua, y-you don't need to worry abo...about it. We still have a chance!" Marcus tried to construct his

words although blood was coming out of his mouth because of Noah's punch.

Noah snorted and laughed indifferently. At that moment, all the gentleness that he usually showed had

evaporated. He wore an expression on his face full of cruelty and rage. He looked entirely different

from the Noah that people typically saw.

"I don't want to work with the weak. I'll withdraw all the investments that I promised to provide you with,"

he heartlessly stated.

"No, no, Mr. Hua. Please don't..."

Marcus said while he shook his head emphatically in panic. He had spent a lot of money in order to

help Noah with his plot in NF City. Since that was a tough nut to crack, he had prepared a lot of money

to employ several men as his capable assistants.

If Noah suddenly withdrew his investments, Marcus would definitely lose a large sum of money.

"How dare you ask for Mr. Hua's forgiveness? Don't you know that you've ruined his plans because of

your carelessness?"

one of Noah's men angrily said as he approached Marcus. Without a second thought, he grabbed him

by the collar.

Noah gestured for him to stop and said, "Todd, help me withdraw all our previous investments from him

and then throw him out!"

When Noah came out of the room, he lit a cigar with trembling hands. After taking a puff, he closed his

eyes and tried to calm his self.

He thought that Terence was killed in the accident. He also knew that Carla had gone to NF to look for

Terence. If she couldn't come back alive, he would proceed with his plan B.

If she came back, he would be happier to continue with the previous plan.

As long as Terence died, he was almost sure that Carla would marry him.

But now that Terence was not killed, what should he do then?

Terence's existence was undoubtedly the biggest threat to Noah...

In that case, neither his plan A nor plan B would work!

He had planned to take Carla to HA City on Wednesday so that her identity of being Allen's daughter

would be confirmed publicly. That way, Allen would probably be touched. He would see him as the hero

who brought his daughter home. If that happened, Allen would definitely betroth Carla to him.

But now, since Terence was alive, what could he do?

'Carla will become Terence's wife, and she will completely trust him in the future. If that was the case, is

it necessary to take her back and tell the truth to Allen and Andrea?

It took me a long time to gain Allen's trust and take over the family estate. Why should I give what I

have worked so hard for to Terence and Carla?

The selfish old man is so eager to find his daughter. It's obvious that he doesn't want me to inherit the

estate of the Hua Family! After all, I'm not their own son, ' Noah thought to himself thoroughly.

At that moment, there was a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart, and he found it difficult to

suppress it.

After a while, Todd came out of the room.

"Mr. Hua, Marcus had signed all the necessary contracts. We won't lose anything. It's just that our

plan..." Todd whispered while he looked at Noah hesitantly.

Noah was sitting on the sofa, a crestfallen look etched on his face. With one hand supporting his

forehead, he breathed heavily.

He didn't say a word for several minutes.

Todd didn't dare to disturb Noah. He quietly went back to the room and asked one of his men to take

Marcus away.

That night, Noah didn't sleep for a second.

He was trying to ponder over the most effective and the most feasible way to solve the problem. But

there was one thing that he was sure: it would be impossible to hide Carla's true identity from his

parents. He had no choice but to take her to meet them.

Unless...

Soon enough, it was Wednesday.

After Carla finished getting ready, she waited for Noah by the door of the Seaview Villa. However, after

half an hour or so, Noah was nowhere in sight.

'Noah said he would come here to pick me up. Did something happen?

He had always been very punctual, so it's hard to believe that he would be late for our appointment, '

Carla wondered.

She walked along the path in front of the villa, looking at the distance to see if Noah was coming. When

she saw that the road was empty, she took out her mobile phone and called him.

The phone rang for a few minutes before Noah answered.

"Hello, Noah. It's me, Carla. Are you okay? Is there something wrong? Why haven't you come here

yet?" Carla asked.

Noah was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"Carla, I had something to take care of. Give me a minute. I'll be right there," Noah said in a slightly

husky voice.

He spent the past two days in agony. He barely even slept or ate.

"Oh, I see. But if you really have something to deal with, we can go there tomorrow instead..." Carla

said hesitantly. Listening to his voice, she figured that there was something wrong.

After coughing a little to clear his throat, Noah stated, "No, that won't be necessary. I'm already on the

road, I'll be there in a minute."

"That's all right, then. I've already come out of the villa. I'm just at the roadside!" Carla said, trying to

look far ahead.

Ten minutes after she hung up, she finally saw Noah's black Hummer in the distance.

"Noah!" Carla greeted him while she waved from afar.

Soon the car was parked by the side of the road.

Carla got inside the car and took the passenger's seat. Then, she turned to Noah who didn't look very

well. "Noah, what's wrong? You don't look well. Didn't you sleep well last night?

Why don't we go to the station and take a bus to HA City instead?

Driving when you're tired is not good for you."

With a gentle smile, Noah responded, "Don't worry about me. It doesn't matter. It only takes three or

four hours to reach HA City. If I get tired on the road, I'll rest for a while."

"Oh, it's a pity that I can't drive. Otherwise, I'll be able to help you," Carla said regretfully. She suddenly

felt guilty that she couldn't share his worries.

She should have learned to drive earlier, but she never had a chance to do that because she was

always busy working and taking care of Sean. Moreover, she thought that she couldn't afford a car in

her first few years on the job so she didn't think about it at all.

It was only that day that she realized how important it was to learn how to drive. So she decided to talk

to Terence about it when she came back.

"Don't worry. It won't take so long to get there," Noah comforted her as he started the car. He tried to

smile at her while he said, "Fasten your seat belt, Carla."

Carla did as she was told right away.

Soon enough, the car was on its way.
